The water service is estimated to provide basic access to water for 3609 men, women and children living within a radius of 1,5 kilometres. 🛖👴🏾👩🏾👶🏾

This project has been sponsored by @tirstrupidraetsefterskole and facilitated in partnership with our partners from @lovespringwaterforwater and @yvlghana

Thank you and congratulations to you all for another successful project.
Together we are making a difference!

On this World Water Day 2023, let's come together to accelerate change and solve the water and sanitation crisis. We all have a role to play in changing the way we use, consume and manage water in our daily lives. Join me in making a commitment to conserve and protect this precious resource. Our pledges will be added to the Water Action Agenda at the UN 2023 Water Conference. #WorldWaterDay #worldwaterday2023 #WaterActionAgenda #walkingforwater #SDG6

Facts about water 💧

Clean water is a condition for us to live. Child mortality is high in the areas where there is no access to water.

High Childhood Mortality Rates Linked to Clean Water Scarcity.

Every year, an estimated 484,000 children younger than five years of age perish from diarrhea. Many of these children come from low- and middle-income countries that don’t have access to healthy water sources.

Unsafe water that causes diarrhea has often been contaminated before being consumed by children.

More childhood deaths occur from diarrhea than the mortality rates caused by malaria, measles, and AIDS combined.

Infectious diseases linked to diarrhea include cholera and dysentery. Without safe water treatments, contaminants like feces can enter water sources.

This is precisely why we fight to ensure clean water for those who need it the most!

The hairlines have become a little higher and the wrinkles have become a little deeper. The residents of Lengasti, Tanzania have water - so have more than 60 other local communities in Africa, but the goal and the destination is still the same 🌍

Charlie will complete his journey to Tanzania. He will walk across Africa and raise awareness of the global water crisis, which still causes huge challenges such as poor hygiene and life-threatening diseases.

And yes, it took a bit more than the 2.5 years he had expected to complete the journey, but that’s just part of the adventure 🥾

Follow his journey when he continues again on May 18 - exactly eight years after he left the square in Esbjerg, Denmark with his Mule 💧

Did you know?

In the families that do not have access to clean water, it is usually women and girls who are responsible for fetching clean water. Water, which in some cases they have to walk very far to collect.

UN WATER writes:

📝 “Women and girls usually have the responsibility of fetching water. This can be a dangerous, time-consuming and physically demanding task. Long journeys by foot, often more than once a day, can leave women and girls vulnerable to attack and often precludes them from school or earning an income.”

This is precisely the reason why it is so important to ensure clean drinking water in the communities that need it most 💧

If you or your company want to sponsor a well, you can read more about the possibilities here: https://walkingforwater.dk/become-a-sponsor/

2022 in numbers - better late than never 🤷🏾

Another year has passed and the whole team behind W4W wishes all followers a happy new year ❤️✨

In 2022, together with sponsors, partners and members, we have completed 19 public water supply systems in Sierra Leone for the benefit of a total of 4,622 people, who now have basic access to clean water 💧

The sponsors in 2022 were @lovespringwaterforwater, @festissimoshop, @odenseinternationalschool , Andst Sogn, TM Forum and Blomster rent vand i Afrika 🫶🏽

The top 3 sponsors in 2022 are the following:

1. LoveSpring - water for waterLoveSpring
DKK 110,500

2. Andst Parish
DKK 11,365

3. TM Forum
DKK 10,476

We also had two bronze package business sponsors this year;

Odense International School and Festissimo ❤️

If YOUR company also wants to become a business sponsor, you can read more about how and what we offer in return here:

https://walkingforwater.dk/become-a-sponsor/

2022 has presented major challenges with inflation in the operating countries 📈
This means, among other things, that major projects sponsored in 2022 are not expected to be completed until the new year.

We thank sponsors and partners for their trust and patience 🙏🏽
- We will get it done!

We have got quite a few new volunteers in 2022. Maja has joined the Sponsor group, Rui has joined the project group, and Nora and Micael have joined the Members group 🫱🏼‍🫲🏿

If you also want to make a difference, while strengthening your CV and developing your skills, become a volunteer in one of our work groups. See how here:

https://walkingforwater.dk/volunteer/

If you would like to support the voluntary work without taking a direct part in it, you can also become a passive member for DKK 200 per year. That is roughly equivalent to what it costs us to give 12 people permanent access to clean water 💧❤️

As a passive member, you are also entitled to vote and run for the annual general meeting in April.

Follow the link here to sign up as a passive member, easily and quickly.

Back in September, the residents of Lavai Section in Sierra Leone were handed a well 💧 A well which means that the children can now go to school instead of fetching water, the women can look after their children and go to the market instead of fetching water, and the men can go to work instead of fetching water 👏🏾

Everything helps to develop a society, and this is needed if conditions are to improve.
